Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Nostalgic. I laughed and I cried. What a movie!
I've been waiting for this one a long time so it's fair to say I went in with big expectations and they were met! What an unbelievable movie! First off I want to say that this was a great finale for Tom Holland's Spider-Man and although I do hope he stays to make more this would also be a great and emotional farewell to his iteration of the character who I believe to be the best ever Spider-Man.
Now on to the part everyone was anticipating... Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield!!!!! When Andrew came on screen everyone including me clapped and cheered in the cinema but when Tobey came on screen the cinema became absolutely electric! It felt like every single person in the cinema was back to being a kid again, reliving their childhood to when Tobey was the definitive Spider-Man and the Spider-Man of our generation. I'm not gonna lie I shed a tear seeing them back on screen! 😭 Also what I found so satisfying was the closure they gave to those two Spider-Men because I never felt that their movie series finished when they were meant to. I also have to note that the banter between the three was outstanding and really brought a smile to the face of everyone in the cinema!
Seeing Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina and Jamie Foxx again was also an absolute delight, they were just as amazing as they were all those years ago.
For me this movie had everything I imagined it would I can't recommend people watch it enough! Thank you Marvel for bringing this together, you have brought us closure and you have brought us happiness in such dark times.
Eternals (2021)
Why the hate? This is a solid MCU movie!
I don't get all the negative reviews. I went into this with low expectations because of what I'd read from critics but I was pleasantly surprised. The cast did a great job and I found each of the characters to be very likeable especially Kumail Nanjiaji who I thought was the best part of the movie.
Go into this one with an open mind and you won't be disappointed it's a solid Marvel movie!
Halloween II (1981)
Underrated sequel
Inferior to the 1978 classic which I consider to be the greatest horror film ever made but still a solid sequel. I think obviously there are certain parts that are a little silly like the Laurie bring Michael's sister sub plot but you know what as a two parter this is pretty good. After seeing Halloween Kills I also have a new found respect for this one.
Check it out!
Friends: The Reunion (2021)
The parts with the main cast and creators was great, the rest not so much.
Firstly I'm a friends fanatic I absolutely love the show and have watched it over so many times and will watch it over many more and to hear they were doing a reunion I was so excited.
But first of all when James Corden comes out you know this isn't going to be the reunion everyone was hoping for...
Why did this even need a host??? The best parts of this reunion were the cast doing the quiz and talking about old times, that was the reunion I wanted to see. What I didn't want to see was random celebrities yammering on and what is annoying is that the random celebrities got more screen time than the actual cast!! For instance the lady who played Janice hardly got a chance to speak and what about the guy who played Gunther??? Honestly I think he said about three words then they cut him off!!
Overall there were parts which I really enjoyed and those parts were of the main cast talking about their experiences on the show and re-creating scenes from the show, that was so great and hearing the creators talk about how they made and cast the show I found that so interesting to listen to. Unfortunately there was just too much nonsense on the side.
Resident Evil Village (2021)
Capcom does it again
Another great entry in the Resident Evil series. I loved everything about the game, the story, the villains, the setting everything. I can't wait to see where they take the series next after the after credits sequence. Highly recommend!
Also the part in house Beneviento was absolutely terrifying!
Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Aftermath (2021)
Loved It
Absolutely loved it! Such a great start, can't wait to see where this is gonna go.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
I don't understand
I loved this show, I mean I absolutely loved this show but nothing made any sense in this final season at all. Characters acting completely out of character, the night king a character who was built up for a long long time was gone just like that and then the worst thing Bran being named king what were they thinking???
6 episodes was also way to short, how on earth can you finish a show like this with only 6 episodes, nothing makes any sense. An awful ending to a once amazing show.
Halloween (1978)
My favourite horror movie
This movie is amazing, everything about it - the music, atmosphere, characters, it's just so good. My only criticism would be that they made far too many sequels, they're not all bad but I think on its own this has a lot more mystery to it.
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966)
My favourite movie
I love this movie so much, it's my personal favourite I just think it's unbeatable. Clint, Lee, Eli, Sergio and Ennio are just incredible and the final standoff my goodness just amazing. The best film ever made.
Gisaengchung (2019)
Incredible
I'd read the great reviews but didn't know what to expect going into this and it just completely blew me away, one of the greatest movies I've ever watched. Highly recommend!!
